'Top 3 Mobile Messaging Disruptors Revealed in 2025 Future Leaders Index'
Overview
Our Future Leaders 100: Telecoms 2025 research suite is dedicated to identifying the most innovative start-ups within telecoms and connectivity which have the disruptive potential to reshape the industry. The research can be purchased as the full Future Leaders 100, or as five different parts which can be bought separately; covering each of our established telecoms and connectivity sub-industries. The respective sub-industries are as follows:
- AI in Networks
- Mobile Messaging Service Providers
- Network Security Providers
- Quantum Service Providers
- Satellite Service Providers
Future leaders are ranked and scored against the entire 100, and their respective sub-industry, mapped across the Juniper Research Future Leaders Index. The Future Leaders Index provides a visual representation of Juniper Research’s view on the most disruptive players to telecommunications; enabling readers to assess future market threats and impending innovation.
The start-ups have been identified and scored on their growth potential; assessing factors such as total raised capital, marketing approach, and Juniper Research’s opinion on their potential to impact incumbent market players. This is assessed alongside their disruptive potential, which scores the scope of their product portfolio, creativity, and innovation. This results in the ranking, in which start-ups are placed as either future leaders, emulators, niche specialists, or early-stage vendors.
The research in this insightful study uncovers the latest trends and opportunities within each sub-industry market and provides extensive analysis of the 100 future leaders.
Collectively, these documents provide a critical tool to gain independent insight into up-and-coming players and what impact their services and solutions will have on established markets.
This will enable readers to better to identify future competition, what separates these companies from established leaders, or to identify potential opportunities for partnerships, investment or acquisition. Its unparalleled coverage makes this research suite an incredibly useful resource for charting the future of such an uncertain and rapidly growing telecoms market.
